SCUP LAUNCH 'IN THE. EAST INDIE3.--011 the Bth of January the inhabitants of Calcutta were gratified by the most magnificent spectacle of the kind ever witnessed in that country. The first line-of-battle ship built there was committed to the waves from the dock-yard pf INlessrs kyds and Co., at Kidderpore, amidst the acclama tions of some thousands of Europeans and natives, whom curiosity bad assembled to view this beau tilt,' and grand specimen of naval architecture,— ' In honour of the Governor-General, she is named the Hastings. After the launch spacious rooms were opened in the dock-yard, for the accommo dation of a very numerous and respectable assem bl 4, , e of Ladies and Gentlemen, invited to partake of the tin provided by the Committee of Ma nagement, at which the Vice-President presided. Many toasts applicable to the occasion were drank, and the day passed in cheerful convi viality. The following are the - dimensions of the Hastings : Ft. . Length on the gun - d ec k' - 176 In 8 Breadth for measurement - 47 8 Burthen in tons - 1705 0 This ship carries on the lower gun-deck twenty eight 32-pounders ; on the main ditto, thirty 18-pounders ; on the quarter-deck and fore-castle, eighteen 12-pounders; and on the poop, six 42-pounders. ARMY OF OCCUPATION. (From The Cork Advertizer V the 15th lastant.) " In an article from Brussels, it is said that a letter had been received from Valericiennes of the 2d instant, stating that the Army of Oc cupation will quit the French territory in the month of October. .We have seen a letter from an Officer in the British part of that Army, which was to the same effect ; yet still the nieisure app'ears to us so unwise, so inconsistent with the sound po licy which has always guided the Councils of the Allied Sovereigns, that nothingless than official au thority can convince as of its being in contempla tion. It was for this reason, and not front any dis reTect to the private correspondence front Paris, which appeared in Tate SUN some time ago, and to which we lately adverted, that we expressed a doubt of Inc inaccuracy of its statetnent respecting the departure of the Army of Occupation. That Paper is indeed highly respectable, and its car respondence manifestly the production Of a man of talent and information ; though we think rather too much inclined against the ancient regime of France. We should be very sorry, however, to find his information on this point correct. That the measure would be injurious to the interests of Europe, particularly of this Country, we ask no other testimony titan the satisfaction displayed by all the Jacobin Prints in the Empire at the pro bability of its occurrence." MELANCHOLY ACClDENT.—Yesterday evening, at 7 o'clock, a melancholy cirvumstance occurred in Furnival's-Inn-court, Holborn. As HARRIET SQUIRES, a young child, the daughter of Mr. SQUIRES, a master printer, and RICHARD ROSCOE, a young boy, the son of a poor widow in the court, were at play on the foot-steps at No. 10, the high wall opposite, wl!ich belonged to the late buildings in Furnival's Inn, owing to an immense quantity of gravel that had been laid up in the inside to a considerable height against it, gave way, and fell with a most tremendous crash, burying the two little infants in its ruins. Both of them were soon afterwards taken out and conveyed to Mr. DAVIS'S and Mr. Data's, surgeons, where every s irgical assistance was rendered them, but without effect. The body of the little girl was taken to the workhouse, from whence she was this morning removed home to her patents ; and., the body of her little fellow-sufferer was last night taken back to its mother's in the court. The • Coroner's Inquest, it is expected, will be held to-morrow. Szarous ACCIDENT.-.-00 Monthly evening, as some of the cockney sportsmen were amusing themselves by firing at sparrows, front a trap in the target ground belonging to the Royll Artil lery Company, near Bagnigge-wells, a fine boy, named Walter Mapperley, who was at play with some other boys in an adjoining field, w a s 'tutor. Innately shot in the bead ; he fell to the ground, and Mr. Chappell, a Gentleman residing near the spot, bad the unfortunate boy carried to St. Bar tholomew's Hospital, Where his wounds were exa mined. He had received two shots in the throat, one over the righteye, and ninein the face andneek, and lie is in a dangerous stele. Mr. Chappell has taken the matter in baud, and has appli e d to t h e Magistrates of Hatton-garden, wise have pro. mised him their assistance ; and we understand that the pari s h will defray the exp ellee atten di ng the prosecution, and put, dU cud to this dangerous aniuseulcut. THE THEAITE. Then hear me, pray hear me, suspend your decision, 'Tis sorrow, nut guilt, dims my eye with a tear, The heart that loves truly should know no suspicion, Then banish from thine every feeling of fear. The Miss DRNNETTS have not, as stated, been discharged from Covent-Garden Theatre. It is reported that one of the intended arrange ments fur the ensuing season, at Drnry-Lane Theatre, is the reduction of the price of admis sion to the old standard, viz. ss. to the boxes, &c. The other Theatre will, of course, be oblig ed to do the same, and the measure will, we doubt not, be advantageous to both. The new Comedy of The Green Man has been to attractive, that Mr. JONES, the Author, has, it seems, sold it for a sum much beyond what has ever been given for a piece of three acts. THE AUTHOR OF WAVERI.F.Y, &e.—Mr. THOS. SCOTT, Paymaster of the 70th regiment, station ed at Kingston, in Upper Canada, is reported, iu the Linked States, to be the Author of Waverley, the Antiquary, Stc. An acknowledgme n t of the fact was made (says the Port Folio), by one of the family of Mr. Scott to an Aineilean Gentleman, during the last autumn. In addition to this, an individnal of Philadelphia has seen the manuscript of one of these works. Mrs. Scott, the Lady of Mr. Thomas Scott, lately passed through New- York, on her way to Great Britain ; and the time of her arrival was diStinguished by an advertise ment ofa New Tale hi three vols. entitled " Rob Roy," it's having been put to press in England, by the author of Waverley and other Novels. The intimate 'connection which Mr Walter Scott is known to have had with these publications, is fully accounted for upon the supposition that the author is Ids brother, and lives in Upper Canada. NEWFOUNDLAND.—The Beresford, SINNOTT, and the Lady Sherbrooke, PnEcaN, arrived here yesterday from St. John's, which the former lett on the 19th, the latter on the 20th.of July. The cod fishery is not represented as prosperous, ex cept to the westward; but great hopes are enter tained for the remainder of the season : the seal fishery was remarkably fortunat e every where. The rapid rebuildi ng of the town of St. John's is fully confirmed. The passage home from New foundland was very rainy.—(Wrilerford Mirror.) WHALES.—TWO whales have been seen for the last five or six days inside the harbour's mouth at Cove ; yesterday, the City of Cork Steam Packet, with a gre a t num b er on hoard, proceeded to sea hfor a few hours, and went very near Youghall arbour ; we were informed by a Gentleman who was on hoard, that the Steam Boat passed quire close to. one of these whales, near the har bour's mouth, and the persons on board had a distinct view of it, and were much amused! at seeing it spout up the water, which it did td a considerable height ; two row boats were esi deavouring to drive it inside the harbour, but with little effect. The appearance of these whales on our coast may be owidg to the Icebergs, which have lately been so much talked of by ,naviga tors.—(Cork- Chronicle.) . 13 oxItstc.—Camberwell Fair, like Lanslicwne, brought about:n.fight of a most determined na ture„between Harry .Polter,. a gypsey, from the neighbourhood of Bristol, and . Cordery,' a tan ner. The parties had a dispute at a booth in the fair on Tuesday, and 10/. 'vas deposited for the tanner to go and fight him on the near est eligible spot ; an amateur who was acquainted with the science and breed of the gypsey, having made stakes for,him. The fight lasted t wenty four minutes, but the tanner was the - worst beat, although the victor. CRICKET.—The Cricket Match between eleven Gentlemen of Egham against eleven, of Chertsey, was played on Monday last on Engletield Green, and won by the former. DARING ROBBERY.—On Tuesday as Mr. John Coben, broker, in Westminster -road, was corn ing from. Camberwell Fair to town, he was robbed by a fellow of his watch, chains, sea l s , & e , at Newington. A gang of thieves surrounded him at the time, hut he seized the - thief :Ind held him Until a constable cams; 'up and secured him. He was committed to NeWington cage. Twenty-one brace of grouse, or moor game. found in the possession of a carrier, were seized, by warrant of a Magistrate, on Wednesday morn ing last, at Brancepeth, Durham. S•:nday evening Mrs. Harvey, of Clarendon place, Clarendon-square, Somers' Town, was at tacked on the New Road, by three lads and two 'careen, who knocked her down, and robbed her of her ridicule, and three ostrich feathers. F.VGLICH OPER k liousp.—The Operatic novelty produced for the ,first tithe last night . at this Thea tre is (.!titled lealon's ou all .ides; ar?he Landlord in jeopardy. The scene lies in Spain, and the rtt:rin plot arises .from the jealons anxieties of A/exo _(`VRitstcH). and Fobricio .(l i eha:4AN), who both temporarily place the ladies they propose to Marry in the home of Possado (H,Aat..Ev). The fair Ones in consequence become mingled. - Much con (usion and vexation is experienced by the lovers, through one lady being mistakeu for the other ; and Possado, the landlord of the Ii on c e, and his servant Farrago (WILKINsoN), come in for their share of trouble, as atone time the only conten lion bet weetl Fabricio ant Ale:ro is, which shall have the pleasure of being their executioner. In the end, explanation satisfactorily dispels all the jealousies which had been excited, and the cele bration of a double marriage completes the happi ness of all parties. The music, which is spirited and pleasing, is attributed to a Mr. JOLLY. There is much of entertaining complexity in the plot of this piece, and of humour in the several charac ters. It was well supported by the performers, and very favourably received by the audience.— We subjoin a song as a specimen of the poetry ; it was sung with expression by Miss Canew, and was encored, and so was a ludicrous song on jea lousy, by HARLEY • : Ah why do you fly me ? why scorn and repress me ? Why turn from a heart so devoted as mine ? You know there is nothing on earth can distress ate, So much as one cruel suspicion of thine. PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. REPORT PROM THE CONVIITTEE ON TETE PRISONS OF THE METROPOLIS. The important Document respecting the stare of the Prisons within the City of London and Borough of Southwark, which was ordered by the 'louse of Commons to be printed, has been just issued from the Press. The minutes of evi dence extend to a very great length. The fol lowing is the result of the Committee's investiga tions, with regard to the principal prison, NEW.. GATE, as expressed in the following statements : " On the whole, therefore, it appears to your Committee, that so far as the construction and extent of Newgate will permit, the treatment of the prisoners generally is such as meets with their approbation. The prison fare does not appear worse, or more severe, than is consistent with such an establishment, or injurious to the health of the prisoners. " The attention of a former -Committee was Arco ed to the crowded state of Newgate, which at that time was the place of •confinemeut, not only for criminals but also for debtors. The new prison in IViditecross-street has relieved Newgate at the debtors ; yet, with the conviction of the importance of classification and separation, which your Committee cannot too frequently or too strongly preis on the' attention .01 the House, they consider the accommodations of this prison as still altogetherinadequate. • • " When .the local position of Netrgate is con sidered, and the great expense already incurred by the city of .London, it cannot be expected that the present 6aol should he pulled down, and a better constructed, more commodious, and a more extended prison erected in its plaCe, which could only be effected at a most enormous expense.— Your Committee, therefore, must confine . their suggestions of improvement to a change in the appropriation of the present Luildings. " It appears to your Committee, that very material improvement may be facilitated with out any great or unreasonable sacrifice. The regular and immediate removal of convicts - 'after every Sessions would give scope for many important alterations ; and provision ought to be made for that purpose by an establish ment, where, instead of being in a state of filth and idleness, the convicts may be use fully employed. And they may further remark, that if the larcenies were tried at the Quarter Sessions, as in other counties, instead of being tried at the Old Bailey, a considerable influx of prisoners would be prevented. But, if -your Committee might vent tire to suggest what appears to them the most expedient arrange ment, they would recommend that Newgate, as attached to the Old Bailey, should 1;"e exclu • sively appropriated to prisoners for trial. On a review, then, of the whole evidence concerning Newgate, as well as from the observationa 'they were able to make while inspecting the - prison, your Committee are decidedly of opinion, tha t the public interest requires a speedy altera rion in the • condition of Newgate. They 6- pure no blame to the present keepex (Mr. BroW1.1), and the orders and regulations be-has•adopted un der the sanction of the City Magistrates nre a great improvement ; but the want of snificient room:40 classify the prisoners —the entire absence, as far as the men and boys tire concerned, of all employ ment—the promiscuous asiemblage..of persons of all descriptions, ages, and characters . of crime, have deeply impressed your Committee with 'the opinion, that no one can enter the. walls -of Newgate without going out from. thence more depraved and corrupted than when first com mitted thereto. And though the MagistratAss of the City of Lond on have slim!) a praise -worthy disposition to remedy the grievances complaiiiejl of in former times, yet from the over-crowded state of the prison, and the conflaed accommo. dation for its numerous inhabitants, the main and prominent evils cannot be removed ; and still less would it be possible so to regulate its interior ar rangement as to fit it for those plow,. s of refAr niatory punishment which the good of society re= Tikes." AWFUL SUDDEN DEATH. ----- On Wednesday the Conference of the Wesleyan Methodists closed its sittings, having continued 17 days. Since that of 1817, 26 preachers had died. The close of the present one was marked by the sudden death of the Rev. IV. -BE,sStwELL, one of the members. About three o'clock on Thursday morning Mr. B. left the house, where be had lodged, to meet the Western Mail. He bad not walked above 200 yards when he was seized with a fit of apoplexy, and on the approach of the patrole, he was found standing with his hands upon his knees. On being asktd his coat,- plaint, he said, " lam very ill indeed; take hold of me, Watch." He then, in a voice almost in articulate, explained that he came from Mr. SIG.. STOWS, and wished to be taken hack again. Un. conscious of his extreme weakness, he attempted to walk, assisted by the patrole, one of whom took hold of him at each side but the effort was more than lie could bear, and after having taken ti single step,.he stood again hi•his former position, saying he felt himself the most easy in that state. He then fell upon his knees, and said, 1 shall not be long here," These were his last words, and by the time that he could be conveyed to Mr. StosToN's, the vital flame, which fee a few . MO. mews continued to quiver in the socket, became extinct.- He had breathed his last —Mr. Bam‘t- WELL was a man of respectable talents as a Mi nister, and had laboured many years with almost unexampled diligence, zeal, and usefuluess.-- (Hull Packet, Aug. 17 ) We understand that tare Memoirs of Count De Las Casas, the Companion of INApot,EO N , will be published in London and IVelinar on the ISt of September. Besides the LettertOLOrd BATIJURST, written trom Frankfort, it will comprise the Se cret Correspondenc e of Count LAS CASAS with LUCIEN BUONAPARTR. discovered and seized by Sir HUDSON Lowe, a copy of which, it appears, the Authorhadpreserred among hi s papers, and u ;ought with him to Europe.
